This is a question I get asked a lot. Some people like the idea of having everything they eat planned out for them.

In this episode, not only do I tell you which system is best for which kind of person, but I give you a fool-proof way of planning your own nutrition. Stay tuned. thesculptedvegan.com

How I Fought Off Life-Threatening Obesity (with Trish Lewis) - Episode 37

It took her sister having a baby to make chef Trish Lewis realise she had to do something about her life-threatening obesity (over 370 pounds).

Listening to her today, her crazy, infectious good humour and thirst for life shows how just far Trish has come from those dark days.

What do training dogs, bringing up children, and diet fads all have in common? Proof that there are no shortcuts to long-term success.

Cellulite Doesn’t Exist, and Here’s How to Reduce It - Episode 34

Bear with me for a moment. “Cellulite” was invented by the fashion magazines and beauty product manufacturers in the 1960s. Before then it didn’t have a special name. So nowadays we’re all being misled into spending fortunes on magic creams that claim to “reduce its appearance” and never do. In this episode, I strip away all the lies, all the nonsense, and reveal what cellulite actually is, and what you can DO to attack it. thesculptedvegan.com

Bret Contreras was teased at school for his diminutive butt, so he decided that the best revenge was to learn everything there was to know about glutes. After today’s show, you too will have a degree in buttology. thesculptedvegan.com

Oh, and hear the secret of how my husband grew more muscle in two months than he had in the previous two years. Let’s go!

Can Vegans and Carnivores Ever Truly be Friends? (with Mikhaila Peterson) - Episode 30

My guest this week only eats meat - that’s all. And when I first heard about her I dismissed her as a crazy fool. But when I heard her moving life story, I changed my opinion 180 degrees. This is the story of how Mikhaila - daughter of the famous professor of psychology, Jordan B. Peterson - and I became firm friends, despite fundamental differences in our approach to food.
